ICF Insulated Concrete Form and Footer: Preparing the foundation for a monolithic pour.

One of the most problematic issues with ICF construction is the cold joint between the foundation slab and the ICF block. Our contractor eliminates that issue by laying the block and preparing a footer for a monolithic pour. The basement walls and the footer will be poured at one time, so there is never a cold joint between the foundation and the block. John described how the footer is leveled and how the blocks are secured to prevent concrete blowouts. The integrated footer and wall design is the perfect solution to an old problem.

Channel overview:
John and Leslie take you step by step on the journey of building their new home on Table Rock Lake. The house is an ICF (insulated concrete form) home with suspended garage floor and concrete decks. This all takes place on a sloped lot, where the fun never ends. From septic to backfill headaches, join them on their journey to build a home on their dream lake lot on Table Rock Lake!

John and Leslie have remodeled three homes and provided construction on many more, but this is their first build from the ground up. John worked as an engineer for several years and as an owner’s representative for several multimillion-dollar homes, so he will serve as the general contractor on this project.
